Chapter Fifty

With the graduation coming up, Jessica was plunged into a world of stress. Her days in school were filled with work work and work and it was even more tiring to hear the girls argue and chatter about the boys that would be their dance partners at the graduation. Jessica could not wait to get this all over with so she could finally get to rest.

What she really looked forward to was the wedding she had coming up a week after her graduation. Even as the graduation was at the corner, the preparations for the wedding were in place already. Vivian was determined to get the perfect wedding for her daughter. She took charge of preparations making sure she paid attention to every minor detail.

With the stress and pressure that was mounted on her shoulders, Jessica could not even have the time to explore her new surroundings. The only time she would escape the workload was when Vicky Norbert would visit and they'd sit down at the porch chatting into the night with cups of coffee in their hands.
